Proposals must comply with commercial support standards (e.g., ACCME); monthly review cycle.

--- ## Description This grant opportunity from Bayer is aimed at supporting medical educational programs focused on heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF, LVEF ≥40%). The initiative seeks to address ongoing gaps in disease understanding, co-morbidities, standards of care, real-world therapy utilization, and residual risk in these patient populations. A key focus is on the unique properties, efficacy, and safety of non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), particularly in light of recent clinical trial data (e.g., FINEARTS-HF, FINEHEART). Supported educational formats include enduring materials, downloadable slides, podcasts, live virtual sessions, and social media outreach. --- ## Due Dates - Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. - Proposals are reviewed monthly. - Allow at least 45 days from submission for a decision. --- ## Funding Amount - No set maximum or minimum; funding is based on the proposed budget for the educational activity. - Applicants must submit a detailed budget using Bayer's template. - Funding typically covers costs associated with developing and delivering educational activities. --- ## Eligibility - Open to accredited providers of medical education, including institutions and organizations able to comply with standards for commercial support (e.g., ACCME). - Applicants must provide a copy of their most recent accreditation letter and status. - Intended audience for supported activities includes cardiologists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, internal medicine specialists, and primary care providers (including nurses and physician assistants). --- ## Application Process - Submit a complete proposal via Bayer's online portal. - Required proposal components: - Needs assessment - Educational design and rationale - Learning objectives - Proposed faculty - Participant recruitment plan (if applicable) - Outcomes strategy/plan - Detailed budget (using Bayer’s template) - Provider justification, including current accreditation documentation - Proposals must adhere to guidelines for commercial support of educational activities. - Post-award requirements: - Reconcile grant funding within 60 days of program completion - Permit Bayer Medical Affairs to audit live activities - Share activity data and outcomes within 30 days of availability --- ## Additional Information - Educational content should highlight the latest clinical evidence and address real-world practice gaps. - Emphasis on non-steroidal MRAs versus steroidal MRAs, referencing recent trial results. - Preferred formats include enduring materials, virtual/live events, and social media integration. --- ## External Links - [Bayer Heart Failure Grant Guidelines](https://www.grants-contributions.bayer.com/medical-educational-grants/guidelines/heart-failure) - [Bayer Grants & Contributions Portal](https://www.grants-contributions.bayer.com) - [Reference: FINEARTS-HF Trial (PubMed)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39352340/) - [Reference: Mineralocorticoid Antagonism in Heart Failure (PubMed)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39243242/) --- ## Contact Information | Bayer Grants & Contributions (General) | |----------------------------------------| | [Bayer Grants Portal](https://www.grants-contributions.bayer.com) | | 100 Bayer Boulevard, Whippany, NJ 07981, USA | For specific questions, use the contact form or portal on the Bayer Grants & Contributions website.
